Danger man

Here's my cousin Pat cutting the grass at his house. It's in a suburban town north of Boston. I'd always thought this area was quite benign but I was amazed when they told me they had to keep a close eye on their pets in case they were eaten by coyotes, bobcats or worse. Apparently it's a regular occurrence and even bears have been sighted in the area. At first I thought they were winding me up, but other people told me the same thing. No way would you get me out mowing the lawn round there...!
